Top Gun: Maverick 2022
Out of all the sequels and reboots fuelled by 80s nostalgia in the posts 2010s, who’d have thought Top Gun Maverick would be the pinnacle of them all?
Not only a great sequel that respects Tony Scott’s pop culture iconography, but a soulful Legacy sequel too.
So much will be said about the spectacle and I can barely do it justice here. Unbelievable set pieces, tension and quite frankly - it just goes really fucking hard.
Honestly, films like this are why I love films so much. Tom Cruise, the last movie star.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings 2021
Simu Liu smoked everyone in a pair of Jordans. You cannot mess with this heat.

Arrival 2016
Time. A force that we have determined to be a construct that we abide by. Can we ever really feel the importance of it going by us, second by second? Perhaps we should try.
ARRIVAL is profound yet minimalist. A gorgeous study of the entity that we try to appease everyday and the choices we must face. Villenueve and Young are a godsend combo, coming straight after two Villeneuve / Deakins collabs (Prisoners , Sicario). ARRIVAL shares more in common with Enemy but on a flipped coin.
I adored this.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2018
This year really is the year for Spider-Man.
Emotionally charged and charmingly wholesome, Into The Spider-Verse is a bombastic tale that is only exceeded by its stunning animation style.
Might be a 5 on rewatch tbh.
